URE assay kit :: General Urease Assay Kit 100 Assays

Background/Introduction: Urea is primarily produced in the liver and secreted by the kidneys. Urea is the major end product of protein catabolism in animals. It is the primary vehicle for removal of toxic ammonia from the body. Urea determination is very useful for the medical clinician to assess kidney function of patients. In general, increased urea levels are associated with nephritis, renal ischemia, urinary tract obstruction, and certain extrarenal diseases, e.g., congestive heart failure, liver diseases and diabetes. Decreased levels indicate acute hepatic insufficiency or may result from overvigorous parenteral fluid therapy. Urea Microplate Assay Kit is designed to measure urea directly in biological samples without any pretreatment. The intensity of the color, measured at 620nm, is directly proportional to the urea concentration in the sample.
